So I learned once upon a time that there are four main ways God speaks to us-- through the Bible, the Holy Spirit, people, and circumstances. Well, I've decided there's one more: the radio. I guess I could generalize it and say music. But today, it was specifically the radio.
I've been kinda down lately. No particular reason. Just down. This morning on the way to work, I had switched the car radio over to a Christian station because sappy country songs and booty music were not helping me out. Later, when I left a stressful morning at work and got in my car to go to lunch, a song I had never before started right then. It was about redefining happiness. The words floored me and had my undivided attention. I didn't even want to roll down the windows as is my custom at lunch for fear of missing a line. The song confirmed what I believe God has been trying to tell me lately--my attitude/mood is what I make it. So after lunch, I got back in my car to return to work, and God did it again! Another song that tugged at my heartstrings. I don't recall any specific lines, but it had something to do with enjoying the life God gave us.
I guess I've selfishly been on some kind of pity party lately although I have ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. I'm blessed beyond measure, and sometimes when I'm a dope and think it's just not enough, God uses whatever He can to get my attention. If I refuse to sit down with Him and His Word, He uses the radio. Man, I'm glad He doesn't give up on me.
